review 1: How can black become white? Or a bus become a car? Can a house turn into a moose? All these things, and many more, are possible with Word Ladders. This fun word game has been around for a long time, thanks to Alice in Wonderland author, Lewis Carroll. You get a pair of words and have to make one become the other just by changing one letter at a time to make new words. Wyatt takes this concept and creates a little story that is fun to read. The illustrations are great. The reader is given a short history of this game at the end of the book as well as some challenges.
review 2: This book went WAY above my expectations. What I LOVE about this book is that as the one letter changes, that particular letter is in red so it was VERY easy for my son and I to follow. We... more were both able to understand how one letter changed each word to a whole new word. Since this is hard to explain, let me show you an example from the book:A bus can become a carbus but batbarcarThis was a fun book! It was cute, educational and the pictures were fun and comical. The cover is very catchy and I would definitely pick it up off a shelf.I recommend this book to any parent of a young child or a teacher who is teaching a child (or class) to read.I believe it will work well with your reading lessons! Any kid would pick this book up to read it! It is silly and fun and engaging!Review from my six year old son, Max-"This book was really really funny! The words were really cool and I could read them and the pictures were sooo funny!"***This book was given to me by the publisher in exchange for an open and honest review*** less
